Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alkenes mainly undergo substitution reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alkanes do not undergo this reaction because they already only have single -bonds, and so they cannot become more stable or stronger structurally-they are already at the peak, and so can only swap things around in substitution reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Expert Answer. The correct answer is option D. Alkenes themselves are electron-rich and hence they cannot react with bases/nucleophiles.
